Large and Representative Attendance ~
the Funeral of Colonel william Il. Nun
ford.
There was very marked demonstra-
ton of respect paid TO the memory OF
Colonel William T. Munford yesterday
His funeral took place from the First
PRESBYTERIAN church at 12 o'clock. The
sacred edfice was well filled and the at
tendance was very representative one.
Among many others noticed were Cover
nor Lee, Rev. DR.. Hoge, Rev Mr.. Howl
son, General Joseph r. Anderson, Messrs.
+. T. Glasgow, r. +. Blankenship, Colo
mel F. G. Ruflin, Captain Robert g. Scott,

kiel, Mr.. T. William PembertOn, DR.. II.
Cabell Tabb, Mr.. Charles III. Talbot, MI.
Junius A. Morris, Mr. Joseph Culling-
worth, and Mr.. A. Blair.
Among the mourners were Mr.. Robert
b. Munford, Mr. William MunfOrd Ellis,
and Mr.. Herman Baldwin, and their
wives. Among the pall-bearers we're
Messrs. J. d. K Sleight, James Lyons, A.
Fisken. Trueman A. Parker, DR.. w. w.
Parker, Judge f. II. Fitzhugh, and Hugh
Blair. Rev. X. p. Kerr read an histori-
cal sketch, and resolutions adopted by
the session of the First Presbyterian
church. The first reviewed the long,
useful, and honorable career of the de-
ceased, and the latter testified to their
sorrow at his loss, and at the loss which
the city had sustained.
Rev. Mr. Kerr was visibly affected and
his remarks were brief but pertinent. In
fact, there was but little need of extended
eulogy Colonel Munford stood in no
need of it. His life and its good works
speak for themselves. The pastor based
his remarks in the words of st. Paul
81 Have Fought The Fight" &c, and
from it drew the moral which should fol
low the ending of blameless life.
Mr., n. b. Clapp presided at the organ,
and the choir, Mrs. Stephens, Miss Kelley,
Miss Buchanan, and Major Clemens rem
dered some touching selections. Mrs.
Blair sang Jesus Lover of My Soul"
AS the remains were borne out of the
church the choir rendered an appropriate
hymn The floral tributes were many
and were noted for their elegance and
the beauty of their designs. The inter
ment was made at Hollywood, and in the
midst of drenching, cherries rain, the
remains of one of Richmond's best sons
were committed to mother earth.

pLEsr BE THE TIE.

Hills.

Hills.
The Brooklyn Eagle says that kich-
mond has captured three OF its daughters.
az follows: First, Miss Roundtree, OF
Sterling Place, graduate OF Vassar Col
lepe. married Mr.. +. d. Hicks, we'll
known tobacconist of this city. Miss
Lizzie Vinton Tighe, daughter pr Rev.
R.H.L. Tighe, of Grace chapel formerly
of Richmond), was married to Captain
Robert Harold. January Sd. She is a
graduate of Packer institute. Lastly,
Mr. Allen +. Donnan and Miss Edith FL
wood Talmage assumed the state matrl-
monial."
Richmond and Brooklyn are thus
united by the sweetest and most sacred
of ties mo pun is intended(; but OF the
trio there is no fairer or better Tlghe
than Mrs. Robert Harold, who will soon
be here. Mrs. Harold is no stranger
here. as she is remembered by old friends
who knew her during her fathers sojourn
in the city. Richmond has already wei
coined one, and is ready to receive the
other two with open hearts and hands.
Now that the Minnesota fever is TAX
ing away so many OF our young men, we
would much rather gather in the 1alr
daughters of other cities than to lose
our sons. Brooklyn's daughters are SAID
to be as fair as the famous ones of JOB,
and if the Mystic Shriners and Grand
Army men continue their visits this way,
there will no doubt be many more Rich
monds in the matrimonial field. "Blest
be the tie that binds" and may the good
work go on.
